Have the drs suggested any PT or bodywork to try to help with the pain & discomfort?

why not??
Or Chiropractic care ??- a very good one of course.

Some interesting videos are online for back care exercises, yoga, phys therapy, chiropractic, acupressure -- amazing what good stuff you can find on you tube & Google videos.
